A Chinese man who was fishing illegally in Korean waters on Tuesday afternoon was shot and killed by Korean Coast Guard officers during a raid.
Officials say the 44-year-old fisherman resisted arrest and attacked the officers with a knife.
They responded by shooting him in the chest with a rubber bullet, and he died later at the hospital.
The Coast Guard stopped and raided some 30 Chinese boats on the same day for fishing illegally in Korean waters in the West Sea.
An investigation into the shooting is underway.
